MOTU Ethno Instruments - MOTU's new Ethno Instrument is a cross-platform virtual instrument that gives users quick and easy access to an 8GB library of world/ethnic instruments, loops and phrases.


1. Expressive instrument sounds - With 4GB of expressive ethnic instrument sounds combined with another 4GB of authentic world music loops and phrases, Ethno Instrument delivers all of the exotic textures needed to take recordings to the four corners of the globe. Ethno's multi-column preset browser clearly organizes both instruments and loops by regions of the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia, Celtic, Eastern Europe, India, Middle East, Mediterranean, West Indies, Occidental and others. Instrument sounds may also be browsed by instrument categories, including Woodwind, Stringed, Bell/Metal/Gong, Key, Voice, Percussion and others. When the user loads a sound, a map displays the area of the world that the instrument comes from. If the user then clicks the map, a picture of the instrument appears so that the user can see what it looks like.

Musicians who specialize in each instrument were recorded in world-class studios with pristine audio fidelity and careful attention to detail. For example, many of the included instruments do not conform to Western tonality, so two different Ethno presets are provided: one preset with original, unmodified tuning and a second preset with each note tuned to conform to a Western 12-tone chromatic scale. Users can then play the instrument in its truly authentic form or easily incorporate it into music with conventional Western tonality.

2. Authentic loops and phrases - Ethno Instrument's 4GB of stylistically authentic loops and phrases include percussive rhythms, vocal utterances, solo and ensemble voices, single-instrument chord progressions, multi-instrument rhythm sections, ornamental flourishes (such as harp glissandos), and much more. Rhythmic loops always play in tempo with each other, wherever possible, and a "Sync to Host" button allows loops to play in tempo with the time line of plug-in host applications such as Digital Performer, Pro Tools and Live. State-of-the-art time stretching technology ensures sound quality, even at extremely slow or fast tempos. Many additional looping controls are provided, such as Sample Start adjust, Double/Half Tempo and Latch mode for starting and stopping loops with a single keystroke.

Highly rhythmic and percussive loops are stored as sliced loops, similar to REX2 files. With a single click on the "Map" button, loop slices can be automatically mapped to MIDI notes as single hits or beats. Users can then trigger (and record) the individual beats from a MIDI keyboard, drum pad or other MIDI controller to completely rearrange (or otherwise manipulate) the beats any way they wish.

3. Drag and drop convenience  - To import a loop into the host for further editing, processing and manipulation directly in the host, users can simply drag and drop the loop from the Ethno Instrument window into a host audio track. Sliced loops (described earlier) can be dragged into a MIDI track as MIDI data, where all of the MIDI sequencing capabilities of the host application, such as randomization and groove quantize, can be brought to bear on the MIDI notes that trigger each slice.

4. Sound sculpting and convolution reverb  - The sound of all loops and phrases can be independently adjusted with a variety of intuitive sound-shaping tools, including an amplitude envelope, multimode filter, LFO, two-shelf EQ, pitch controls, and MIDI velocity response curves. Stunningly realistic built-in convolution reverb allows users to place their sounds in authentic acoustic spaces, from natural settings like caves and forests to spacious concert halls and soaring cathedrals.

5. Plug-in and stand-alone operation  - Ethno Instrument can be used on the Mac or PC as a plug-in with any compatible host application (VST, DXi, MAS, Audio Units and RTAS) or as a stand-alone application (included), where users can load up to 64 different instruments per instance (triggered independently via 64 MIDI channels) to create ensembles of any size and scope, sub-mixed to as many as 17 independent stereo outputs (under stand-alone operation or under hosts that support multiple outputs).

6. Save settings as Multis - A snapshot of all Ethno settings can be saved on disk as a "multi". Multis can then be freely transferred and exchanged among computers and host programs. For example, an Ethno multi created in Digital Performer on Mac OS X can be opened in Ethno Instrument running under Pro Tools on Windows. Disk streaming can be enabled on a per instrument basis to conserve RAM resources and quicken load times. For live performance, "Expert Mode" provides advanced programming features, such as key switches, velocity layers and keyboard splits (zones). Ethno Instrument is powered by the second generation UVI Engine, renowned for its sound quality and performance.

    GENERAL INFORMATION & RETURNS:

    • If you require further information regarding the item listed then please ask. I respond to 99% of all emails within the first 24 hours.
    • As a courtesy, please do not email me with your suggestion of a price that I should be listing an item for. Remember it’s my auction and I have the right to select the sale price.
    • Some items may be withdrawn from sale without notice. The reason for this is that the item/s for sale may also be listed and sold in various other websites simultaneously.
    • A majority of my auctions list information & specification that have been advised by the manufacturer and are subject to change without notice.
    • All items listed for sale are genuine, I do not deal in fakes, cracks, copies or cheats.
    • All used items have been checked and tested in various ways. I only offer items for sale that function correctly unless otherwise stated.  I do not sell goods with the knowledge that they are faulty but parade them as fully functioning, because lets face it, I use ebay to make purchases and I would annoyed if I purchased something that didn’t function correctly.
    • All electrical items use an Australian power supply unless otherwise stated.
    • I am happy to offer a return/warranty period on all of my items unless otherwise stated. I accept returns if the item does not work due to a manufacturing fault only.  I do not accept returns because you miss used it, you damaged it, you didn’t like it, you purchased it by mistake, it didn’t suit your purpose etc.
    • The return/warranty period is generally 7days from the date of receiving your purchase, however some new items may fall under the full manufacturers warranty.  I have given a 7 day period for return/warranty so it encourages you to test your purchase immediately because if it fails then generally it’s going to fail in the first 7 days. You must contact me within that 7days of receiving your item to notify me of a manufacturing fault.
    • Returns/warranty shipping is at the buyers expense. I do not refund postage costs. The item must be returned in somewhat the same condition it was originally sent, please do not tampering or make things look worse than what they are. The refund on the purchase price will only be given once I have tested the item and deem it to have failed due to a manufacturing fault.  If the item is not faulty due to a manufacturing fault, no refund will be given and you will be cost responsible for the return shipping costs.  You may find some of the conditions mentioned unfair, but lets put it in perspective, when you buy an item from a retail store and it fails, you would usually have to follow the same procedures.

    PAYMENT INFORMATION:

    • In most cases my auctions are listed as “BUY IT NOW” this means if you have committed to the sale then you are prepared to “BUY IT NOW”, not in 5 days, not in 10 days etc.  If you are short on cash/funds then please email prior to committing to buy.
    • Once you have committed to a purchase I require some form of contact from you within the first 24hrs
    • Payment is appreciated within the first 1 – 3days after you have committed to a purchase. If you are short on cash/funds for any reason then please email.
    • A payment reminder will be sent daily until the item has been pair for, up to a 7 day period.  Don’t get offended by this, it’s a payment reminder.
    • If payment has not been made within a 7 day period, an eBay dispute will be opened in order for me to re-coupe the final value fee. If no payment or contact has been made after a further 8days then I will close the dispute, you will get an eBay strike against your profile and negative feedback left for you.  Again this is not being rude, just follow the rules and we will all be happy.
    • I accept the following payments from Australian eBay users – PAYPAL, BANK DEPOSIT, MONEY ORDER/CHEQUE, CASH (Local Pick Up)
    • I accept the following payments from Overseas eBay users – PAYPAL
    • From June 2008 I understand that eBay Australia will only allow payments via PAYPAL, so if you don’t have a PAYPAL account then get one now.
    • No cash is to be sent by mail
